Bradley Cooper to produce "Limitless" TV show

Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, and Robert De Niro star in this 2011 techno thriller based on the novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn. The main character is a struggling writer by the name of Eddie Morra (Cooper). At a low point in his life both personally and professionally, he decides to try an experimental drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. As a result he becomes a so-called perfect version of himself, and his success eventually catches the eye of business mogul Carl Van Loon (De Niro). Though it seems like Eddie has the world at his fingertips, he's about to learn that he's not completely in control.

Bradley Cooper will produce a TV show based on his hit movie 'Limitless'.

The Oscar-nominated actor has teamed up with Relativity Media's TV production arm, Relativity Television, and Georgeville Television as an executive producer on a new one hour drama based on his 2011 action thriller.

Georgeville CEO Marc Rosen added: ''The film has an organic natural extension into a compelling and sophisticated one-hour drama that is both a thrill-ride and a social commentary.''

'Limitless' centred on a struggling writer who discovers a powerful new drug which unlocks all of his brainpower, turning him into a successful finance mogul. However, the protagonist's change in fortune raises questions and soon he finds himself targeted by seedy criminals.

The film co-starred actress Abbie Cornish and Oscar-winning legend Robert De Niro.

The thriller was a huge success at the box office, grossing $160 million worldwide.

It is unlikely Cooper will star in the TV adaptation as he has a busy schedule coming up. The actor will next be seen in 'American Hustle', which reunites him with 'Silver Linings Playbook' director David O'Russell and co-star Jennifer Lawrence. He will then voice Rocket Raccoon in Marvel's superhero blockbuster 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
